Good thinking to plug it here, Eric. Membership in the federal games group (guild to the more hardcore gamers) is open to anyone with a fed badge and working with games in their government work. It's about building a community to share resources and experience and better use games for positive outcomes. Anyone interested can contact me at daniel.d.laughlin@nasa.gov.
Comment by Griffin Wholley on April 27, 2012 at 1:37pm OH HAI! TBH, I'm excited to get some experience with the Google tool. A lot of the "cool" NASA folks are already using it. MAX Community has it's advantages (built in interagency rolodex, DC office for live/in-person support), but it also has it's limitations. Once I get through Mass Effect 3, I'll be very interested in joining you and Daniel for some KOR "research" ;)
Comment by Eric Hackathorn on April 27, 2012 at 1:25pm @Griffin Wholley Ahhh, glad you could make it. I was the annoying guy on the telephone who is supposed to be hosting our web site though OMB's MAX site was a good suggestion. (Daniel filled me in.)
Comment by Griffin Wholley on April 27, 2012 at 1:16pm @Eric Hackathorn I was at the meeting this week, well I think it was the same thing. Interesting work going on across the government! I hope some great collaboration comes from the new guild!
